1 Course: Dual Credit Sociology Teacher: Rhonda Kendrick Textbook: Sociology, John Macionis Sociology is the study of society and human interaction. We will look at how factors such as economics, geographic location, culture, and the media influence the ways groups of people function and interact. There will be a special focus on scientific study and the three major theoretical perspectives: structural functional, social conflict, and symbolic interaction. The work in this class is designed to prepare students for college level reading and writing. It requires good note-taking skills and the discipline to read the textbook outside of class. Near the end of the semester, students will take a challenge exam administered by a state agency. The test consists of 50 multiple choice and two essay questions. If you receive a score of 70% or higher, you will receive college credit that is accepted at most public colleges and universities in Tennessee. You will have to check with the college of your choice to get details about transferring the credit. The challenge exam is very difficult, with a state-wide pass rate around 20%. If you are not successful on the challenge exam, you might want to consider taking the Sociology CLEP test at Walters State. The cost is $105 (this price could change). The grade you receive on your report card will reflect your work and grades in the class room. The challenge exam will not affect your grade. Grading Tests: 50% Quizzes: 30% Daily work: 20% Materials for class You will need a three ring binder and four dividers for notes. You will also need a journal/notebook for warm-ups and discussion questions. The journal will be left in the room in a bin for your class work, and it will be graded once a week.
